Some Ben sketches

2013-04-03T12:53:00.000-07:00

Most of these are of the character Ben Day from the book I am currently drawing; Hell Yeah. This is how I practice and warm-up. I still can't decide how I want to draw him definitively. Its getting there though!

BASIC TRAINING

2013-02-28T07:36:00.001-08:00

Here are some exercises I do occasionally. It helps a great deal to focus on the basics. You always take something helpful away. These happen to be studies from the books of Andrew Loomis.

Some Stuff!

Just a couple drawings for now, but more to come soon! Promise!

SPIDEY AND CAP

2012-08-23T11:12:00.002-07:00

Here's another one for a charity art auction at NYCC.

CAP AND BEN STEIN

2012-08-22T13:02:00.002-07:00

Captain America for an auction and Ben Stein for a John Hughes theme at Ashcan Allstars. I always do a rough version before the final and I usually like it a little better. The clean version is always nice when its done, but you lose so much energy.

Been pretty busy with the comics, so it was good to get this one out to a person who had requested this all the way back when Hell Yeah #1 came out!

HELL YEAH 5 COVER STORY

2012-04-25T10:19:00.005-07:00

I really liked how this one came out. Had to sacrifice the size of the logo a little, but I hope it still looks good on the stand.

ARZACH

When Jean Giraud Moebius passed away, I didn't feel like I needed to draw a tribute to him, even though his work has influenced me greatly. The Hell Yeah comic I have to finish each month is tribute enough in that he will always be in my thoughts when I put a pencil or pen to a piece of paper. However, when the chance came to draw a poster on the wall for the character Ben Day's room, I knew exactly what it should be. Merci et au revoir, monsieur Moebius.

HELL YEAH #1 PENCILS

Pencils for the first 5 pages of Hell Yeah #1. If you picked up a copy of the first issue, I hope you find it interesting to see.

I pretty much ink right from here, but I'm working on getting it a little tighter. Its important to find a balance between tight and loose pencils, to know what you can reasonably form a clean image from.

THE DAY AFTER TODAY

I have a signing at Dewey's Comics in Madison, NJ tomorrow from 1-3pm. Hope people can make it out to pick up a book and get a free sketch! You can opt to get it signed and get a little drawing on the inside! I love doing this in comics and I love when artists I like do it for me! Hope to see ya!

All the info on where I will be tomorrow is here:

HELL YEAH 4 COVER STORY

Here's a little progress on the cover for Hell Yeah #4! It always boggles my mind how the covers are done so far in advance. Number one isn't even out yet till next week, so thinking about what happens in number four is just so crazy!

ASTONISHING ADVENTURE

Here is a pin-up I did recently for my buddy Chad Blakely's Astonishing Adventures! I don't know when he is making it available, but I'll let you know when I find out!

A LITTLE MISTY HERE

This was a bonus I threw into a commission sent out to my buddy Luke in the UK. Gotta love drawing robot arms! I realized after i scanned this that i needed to draw a thumb in for her! Also, her foot is cut off badly, but don't tell anyone.

Don't forget a little ongoing comic called Hell Yeah from me and Mr. Keatinge- March 7! Ask your retailer to order you a copy!

And, there is always room for more commissions, just send me an email if you are interested!

SOME DOODLES

Here are some doodles I had lying around.

This is how I imagine Tim Drake. The only thing Im not sure about is the popped collar. I'm using that way too much these days.

This may be it post-wise for a bit, so Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!

HELL YEAH #1 COVER

When it rains, it pours. Since Eric and Joe posted this, I'm happy to show the cover to issue 1 that I drew for March 2012's release. Should be in Previews at the end of this month.

Feels like I'm just getting into the car at the start of a really interesting road trip.
